Cool 😎 Strange 🤪 or obscure 🙃 / interesting things...

Respect for Sylvain Guintoli
The former MotoGP rider and WorldSBK champion ran the London Marathon in full racing leathers, finishing in 3 hours 47 minutes. He did it in memory of his son Luca.
That is strength beyond racing 👏

This unique red vehicle is a Corda, a rare, highly specialized motorcycle sidecar combination rather than a traditional car.

Key Features of the Corda
Developed by German-born Wolfgang Rabe, these machines are known for their extreme, integrated designs that blur the line between a motorcycle and a car.
Engineering: It is an asymmetrical three-wheeler that features 3-wheel drive (3WD).
Powertrain: While early models used Volkswagen engines, versions from 1996 onward often utilized Audi 2.5-liter TDI diesel engines and four-speed automatic transmissions. This is why the vehicle in your image prominently displays the Audi "four rings" logo.
Amenities: Designed for extreme comfort, these vehicles can include car-like features such as a heater and air conditioning for the passenger in the sidecar.
Rarity: They were produced in very small series, and it is rumored that only a few (potentially as few as three of certain specific configurations) exist today.

That looks like the kind of thing that the inventor got obsessed with...then when he saw the finished article, thought to himself..."I've just wasted 8 years of my life"
